County Road

Il is to be hoped tia, the 9oard Of county
commissioners will. at their April meet
ing, attend TO the long delayed matter of
county roads. There is no matter of grea-
ter importance to the county than the
public roads. The state of every civiliza-
ton IS judged by the condition of its pub
lie highways, and we fear that if the world
should judge us by the condition of our
public highways we would be classed with
the Indians The county commissioners
can do much even with the means at hand
to meet the wants and satisfy the claims
of residents of the county, if they will de-
vote the necessary time and attend to it.
There is not legal comfy road in. this
county. They are not properly laid out,

This adit will tap body Of water about six

Spring.

When little children laugh with delight,
when the lark sings his morning song,
when all nature is alive with JOY we know
that another cold winter has been buried
in the past and spring is with us with its
welcome offerings In the faces of our
fellow men we see hope, in their actions
we observe the quickening power Of invig-
Grating influences. The vigor of a new
season spreads its strength into every be-
ing and everything. The fly, which has
hibernated in some secure creyice all win
ter comes out to buzz his thanks. The
yellow jacket, whose obsequies were writ
ten last fall, comfort us with his gauzy
wings and golden body. The little grass
hopper though young and weak makes his
presence known by his rachel rasping
sounds. The grass in hardy punches
shows itself superior to winters chill. The
air is pure and wholesome, clear and
bright. We are glad; all nature rejoices.

Close Call.

Last Monday evening. Doctors Ladd and
Fairfield were hastily summoned to attend
Steve spitzley, who had taken an orerdose
of morphia. Mr.. spitzley has been great
sufferer since the coach accident which
befell him some months ago, and to ease
his pain and gain rest, has necessarily re-
sorted to opiates During the evening in
question, he took an overdose by mistake
and when discovered his condition was Sc
rious, and but for the prompt attendance
Of the physicians, would undoubtedly re
suited fatally. Mr.. spitzley is now able
to be around, and in the future will be
more careful in administering the deadly
potion to himself.

Peculiar Accident.

Prof, Morrison, OF Sand Coulee, met
with q peculiar accident early Thursday
morning. He started for home, just at
the break of day, and in the semi darkness
guided his horse under clothes line
fixed at a convenient height to catch him
under the chin. At the time, his horse
was jogging along at a rapid pace, and
the force with which the Prof. struck the
rope unseated him from the saddle and
threw him something like twenty feet
backward Luckily he suffered no great
injury. and is now able to be about.

Surveys Advertised.

Surveyor General Greene has advertised
for bids for government surveys amount
ing to $4,000, proposals to be all handed
in by April 18th. The ground to be sur
veyed lies near Missoula. on the line Of
the Northern Pacific railroad, ana is the
wooded tract whence the Montana I'M
provement Co, have been taking timbsr,
oecasioning the recent disputes between
them and the Interior Department, as to
whether the ground in question belonged
to the railroad When these surveys are
completed, disputes arising in that locality
will take definite shape.-HeraLa.

surveyed OR plated: people in various
parts of the county are complaining of
roads being fenced up and Of other roads
which cannot be found upon t::a cefFnty
records and their location upoe t;la ..eani
cannot be defined. This nats,r ,vas :17e-
sented very forclbly in the recent decision
of Chief Justice Wade, in which lie plainly
declares that our system Of locating coun-
ty roads is palpably wrong. The usual
method in this county has been for the
board of county commissioners to appoint
viewers, and the road was declared located
on their report. This is all right so far as
it goes. but at the same time the road
should have been surveyed, plated and
recorded in a plat book of county roads
and indorsed by the county commis-
sioners. With this system the exact 1oca-
ton of any county road could be deter
mined. The county is rapidly settling up
and it is high time the former loose
methods should be discontinued, and if
the county is too poor to haye all the old
roads relocated, surveyed and plated, they
can at least commence the work and have
it done gradually, but all county roads
hereafter located should be done in such
a manner as to define their location
definitely.

A Montana Case

Washington special: United States At
torney Robert B. Smith, Of Montana. has
advised Commissioner Sparks, through the
Attorney General, that the supreme court
Of that territory has reversed the decision
Of the district attorney in the case Of the
United States vs. Williams and Smith,
which the government taxes $4,000, for
timber trespass. The lower court decided
against the government, but on an appeal,
prosecuted by the United States attorney,
Judge McLeary overruled the points Of
law raised, and held that the government
was entitled to recover.
